Meghan Won't Be Pictured With Harry on UK Trip

Breaking News so we are going early! PLUS:Charlotte Griffiths’ tell-all is the testimony of someone dehumanised by Prince Harry, and it makes for devastating reading. Fifteen years ago, she was a 27-year-old at a shooting weekend in the West Country where a 27-year-old prince, in their very first interaction, produced “a small white pill” from his pocket, held it up to her face, popped it onto her tongue and announced: “Now I know I can trust you.” (She spat it out.) Harry then told her he had given up Class A drugs, not on principle, but because the army might catch him, and had taken to sniffing creatine instead. A wild, unguarded, chaotic young man, extending trust in the strangest possible way, and, crucially, receiving it. Because Griffiths kept his secrets, FOR FIFTEEN YEARS, through an entire career where the temptation and pressure to reveal them must have been constant. She would have kept them forever, she says, had Harry not dragged her into court. In an act of almost unbelievable idiocy, he put her name into a lawsuit built on the claim that neither he nor his friends ever fraternised with journalists, which meant her honesty (not his) became the thing on trial. On today’s episode of The Royalist, we go inside Griffiths’ extraordinary account: the pill, the creatine, the “movie snuggles” messages, the smearing of a woman who asked for none of it, and what Harry’s crushing 97-claim defeat at the hands of Mr Justice Nicklin really tells us about the prince who demands compassion for himself but offers none to anyone else.
